1 Answers
The firing order of the four-cylinder distributor wires for the Paladin is 1-2-4-3 or 1-3-4-2. The order is related to the arrangement of the crankshaft throws: On the crankshaft of a four-cylinder engine, the throws for cylinder 1 and cylinder 4 are on the same plane, and the throws for cylinder 2 and cylinder 3 are on the same plane. This means the pistons of cylinder 1 and cylinder 4 always reach top dead center (TDC) and bottom dead center (BDC) simultaneously, and the same applies to cylinders 2 and 3. Therefore, cylinders 2 and 3 cannot fire consecutively. Four-cylinder automotive engine: Also known as a four-cylinder engine, it is a machine capable of converting one form of energy into another more useful form, typically transforming chemical energy into mechanical energy. It mainly consists of components such as the cylinder block, crankcase, cylinder head, and cylinder gasket.
